Pasta
- 8 oz egg noodle pasta
- 3 Tablespoons butter (divided)
Mushroom Stroganoff Sauce
- 1.5 pounds cremini mushrooms (halved or quartered)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 cups mushroom stock
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 2–3 sprigs thyme
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Sea salt & black pepper (to taste)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions until al dente. Drain, then toss them with a portion of the butter and season lightly to keep them coated and flavorful.
- Brown the Mushrooms: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt some of the butter. Add the cremini mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are nicely browned and have released their moisture. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the remaining butter to the same skillet. Toss in the sliced onions and crushed garlic cloves. Cook on medium heat until the onions become tender and translucent.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to reduce slightly to intensify the flavors.
- Prepare the Sauce: Whisk the flour into the mushroom stock until smooth, then pour this mixture into the skillet along with the browned mushrooms, thyme sprigs, Dijon mustard, and smoked paprika. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
- Incorporate Sour Cream: Remove a few tablespoons of the hot sauce liquid and mix it with the sour cream to temper it, preventing curdling. Gradually stir the tempered sour cream back into the skillet sauce.
- Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the mushroom stroganoff sauce generously over the buttered egg noodles.
- Garnish: Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley or chives over the top for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
